How do I make my forum responsive?

I read somewhere that the "unified" theme is responsive... but I can't work out where I'm supposed to get that from.

You can download Unified from our downloads page - follow the links to member themes.

There are nores here in the codex on what to do next:

Thanks - I've installed, but I'm still not getting a "responsive" theme. I've enabled mobile theme support and everything like that... but nothing.

Is there any good reason for this?

Are you using a decent responsive WordPress theme and have you given the forum a full width page template to use? It can only be 'responsive' within the limitations of the WP theme.

We use Unified for this site when you view it on a mobile so you can see how it operates when coupled with a proper responsive Wp theme and is shown full page.

Yes and yes.

Basically what's happening is the theme itself becomes responsive... but simple press doesn't. The result is that simple press gets cut in half, if that makes sense. I've attached screenshots.

Hmm... I attached them, but it doesn't seem to have worked.

There are no attachments stored against your account so my guess is they were perhaps too big and you missed the message explaining that.

so - let's recap. What device were these screenshots from and can I have a link to your forum page so I can take a look?

Actually - looking at those images again - they just look like the desktop resized down. And if that is the case then your WordPress theme is clearly not properly 'responsive'. But if you give me a link I can test that.

This said - I've just tested a different theme, and the forum seems to be fine. So I guess it is a problem with the theme I'm using (although it is a "responsive" theme).

In this case I'm guessing there is nothing which can be done from the Simple Press side of things?
